In a closely contested match, Taylor Fritz of the USA defeated Australia’s Alex de Minaur 5:7, 6:4, 6:3 at the ATP Finals, keeping his hopes of advancing to the semifinals alive. With this victory, Fritz has secured two group wins but must now rely on Jannik Sinner, who has already qualified for the knockout stage, to not defeat Daniil Medvedev in straight sets. De Minaur exits the tournament winless, having lost all three of his matches. Fritz expressed exhaustion but remains optimistic about finding the energy needed if he reaches the semifinals.
